Vacuumed, put away dishes, changed towels and sheets, put away laundry, etc. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/faroe_islands_postal_service > Tucked between Norway and Iceland, in the dark waters of the North Atlantic, the 18 tiny islands are home to a population of just over 50,000. > Half of those residents live in the archipelago's capital Tórshavn "Thor's Town". But some of the islands are sparsely populated, with just a handful of people living on them. > Some of the islands are connected by tunnels and bridges, but on others, mail bags arrive by boat or even helicopter.
